Why The Abyss Stares Back

Time passes, fear grows All eventualities Seep in like poison. A façade of peace, An underbelly of pain. Two halves of one world. Cracks begin to show. Forked tails in elegant clothes Eyes open to more. Wide smiles show fanged teeth – Hunched over those that still pray Is your God alive? Lands over the sea We used to think they stood tall. Now, all is falling. I’m a Nihilist For who could look at the world And still have any hope.
